RR, the AFL rules are often obtuse, and constantly evolving as the AFL prioritises short-term problem solving over long-term consistency. It's difficult for fans to keep track (FreDo'h excepted).
But Nissy is a CEO of a footy club, and has been around for decades. By going the public dummy spit, he's revealed himself again to be either incompetent or cynically feigning outrage. It's behaviour that should be called out at every opportunity, but the WA media don't want to bite the hand that feeds them stories.
